Be it known that I, Gnonens GUs'rAvE UR- BMN MARIE MAIREssE, a citizen of the French Republic, residing at Paris, France, have invented new and useful Improvements in Color-Printing Processes, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to a process for printing in color upon textiles, leathers or other appropriate materials or supports, by embossing, stamping or goifering.

This process consists essentially in this that between the textile fabric or other support to be printed and the stamping, embossing or goifering roller raised to a suiticient temperature (about 50 to (1), there is interposed a carrier-sheet of paper or other suitable support previously coated with a thin layer of araiiin wax, stearine or other appropriate atty body mixed with suitable color, this layer being placed against the textile or other support.

By reason of this process, under the action of the stamping, embossing or golfer-- ing, the textile or other support is imprinted more or less in intaglio according to its thickness, at the places subjected to the pressure of the parts in relief on the stamping or embossing roller, by reason of the melting of the fatty body, which yields or gives up solely at these laces and in contact with the hot metal 0 the plate or roller, the color which it contains.

A further improvement consists in interposing between the textile or other support to be prlnted upon, and the color-bearing layer of parafiin or other fatty body, a suit able very loose textile fabric preferably with openwork or holes such as tulle, bolting-cloth, canvas, of any suitable coarseness. At the time of the melting of the fatty body, the threads of this interposed loose textile absorb the liberated color pressed upon them, thereby shielding or saving that part of the textile or material-to be printed, which is placed below them, This interpositionthus enables to be reproduced in the design printed upon the support or material and in the tone or shade even of this sup port, the particular design of the interposed textile, which arrangement gives generally a lighter appearance to the general design;

on the other hand, this same operation causes at the same timethe impression of the tulle, bolting-cloth or other textile interposed. a

printing, wound upon the roller 6.

A secondary process derived from the principal process consists in utilizing the paper or other support coated with a colored fatty body, which have once already served and consequently have lost their fac original design thus stands out by contrastv in the normal tone of this support as a negative of the'shielded original.

lhe interposition of the paper or other support coated with a colored fatty body between the textile or other support to be imprinted and the embossing or gofiering roller, can be effected in any manner whatever.

The annexed drawing shows diagrammatically and'by way of example, a mechanical arrangement enabling this process to be utilized.

In these drawings a represents the heated roller engraved in relief, and b the smoothsurfaced rollerforming the pressure cylinder. The textile c to be printed, wound upon the roller d is subsequently, a itier e carrier-sheet coated with a fatty body which. may be paraflin-waxed paper f, is wound upon the roller 9 and guidedby' the rollers h and 71 after use it is wound upon the roller 71. The roller 0; is heated by any suitable means.

The process can be applied to existing stamping machines by arranging the roller which carries the parafiined paper upon two arms adapted to be secured to the new chine.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. Process for coloreprintingtextiles, which consists in passing the textile between rollers, one of said rollers being engraved and the other smooth-surfaced, heating said this engraved roller, interposing between thethe said carrier-sheet coated on one side .with a colored fatty body.

2. Process for color-printing textiles, which comprises passing the textile between an engraved roller and a smooth-surfaced roller, heating said engraved roller, interposing between the textile and the engraved roller a carrier-sheet coated on one side with a color-bearing fatty body, and inserting between the carriensheet and the textile a sheet of openwork material to shield the textile in part from the color-bearing fatty 10 body.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.
